This extra-special delicacy from the Gruyere district of Switzerland is well-known as the basic ingredient in fondue. But with its delightfully nutty, spicy, full flavor, it is delicious as a table cheese as well. Upon eating Gruyere, one immediately recognizes the taste of whole milk that is used exclusively in making this grand cheese. We say it is grand because a whole wheel of Gruyere weighs about 80 pounds. In fact, it takes over 100 gallons of milk to make a single wheel of Gruyere! Enjoy this traditional favorite julienned into a chef's salad, melted on a hot open-faced sandwich, or, of course, in a classic cheese fondue.

I love Gruyere. I lived in Geneva with Fondue for 4 years. I love the cheese but find its stateside cost is too high. A One time only Occasion. JUst too steep.

Great for Quiche

I use this cheese in Quiche and it works better than anything else..If you cube it it gets soft and gooey without totally melting and disappearing into the egg and onion mixture...Im assuming you let your Quiche rest after baking and eat it when its just warm...If you cut it too hot it will not be "set."

nice slice

I like a little less aging on the outer 1/2 inch, but it is fine for grating

Great cheese

As a lover of French onion soup, cannot find this cheese on Guam.

Gruyere Pound cut

This is So flavorful, and so awesome I can't buy enough. I only wish I could buy a 5lb cut. I put it in everything from eggs to mac and cheese, to eating it on crackers. You will love it!
